Gentle? Level 1 or Level 2?   

Gentle is for those who have never tried yoga before, or those that have a physical limitation, an injury or those that just want to increase their flexibility.  You will learn deep breathing techniques, gentle stretches and do some ‘extreme relaxation’.  (I know… oxymoron)  

Level 1 is where you can learn the basic structure and alignment of the standing poses.  This class flows from one posture to the next, incorporating the breathing techniques as well.  If you feel capable of bending, kneeling, getting up and down off the mat and balancing on one foot for a few seconds at a time you are more than ready for this class.  If at any time you feel you’re ‘in over your head’, (i.e. in forward fold)…we offer modifications along the way to accomodate for all levels of flexibility and strength.

Level 2 is for those with some yoga experience.  We’ll explore the postures a little deeper and incorporate some of the advanced poses.  Even the advanced poses have modifications so if you feel you’re ‘not quite there yet’…. don’t let that stop you.  This is how you get there!  Try this class if you feel comfortable in Level 1 and want to see a different style of class.  It’s always good to mix things up a bit!    Oh…

By the way, ALL the classes include the ‘extreme relaxation’…. whew!

The live demonstrations at our ‘open house’ Friday night were a big hit!  So much so, that we plan to do that again.  Watch for announcements later this month for the next free yoga demo night.    New classes:  Farmer Yoga (men only) starting Wednesday, November 17th at 7:30am; and Mommy and Me classes coming soon!  Call or email if you’re interested in either of these classes.

I know it’s a bit early… but downtown is decorating this week so we’re getting festive.  We’re lining up our yoga demonstrators for Friday night.  There will be no Thursday noon class but we will be open Thursday night for the “unwrapping of downtown” and Friday night for our “open house”.  (see invite below)  Hope to see you there!
